Difficulty Modifiers Apply to Players and AI

Sick of seeing your settlements rot at -8 public order while the AI can support 3 stacks off a single city? Do you want to see just how it feels to be on a completely equal footing? Or just run around Norsca and only suffer 1/5th attrition damage? Then this mod is for you.

Appears to be save game compatible. I'm only modifying the difficulty setting stuff, so it SHOULD work with everything else.

Keep in mind, the Legendary changes will only work on Legendary, so this will ironically make Easy actually harder.

Changes:

v.0.2 - 21/11/2020

Player negative/AI positive autoresolve modifiers have been adjusted/removed:

Multiplier for the value of the player's melee units in autoresolve changed from -0.01/-0.05/0.07500001/-0.1/0.15 to 0
Multiplier for the value of the player's ranged units in autoresolve changed from -0.01/-0.05/0.07500001/-0.1/0.15 to 0
Extra Siege equipment modifier bonus for AI vs Player removed (might remove this since it's not strictly a difficulty thing)
Multiplier for the value of player's melee units in a siege vs the AI changed from -0.15 to 0

- The player will gain 0/0/100/250/500 passive experience per turn for all units.

Notes

I've also adjusted "Research Cost Mod" and "Technology Research Points Mod" and "Economy Tax Mod", but I have no idea what these actually do. I am extremely smart.

Future Ideas

- Remove fog of war for the player.
- Adjust the battle difficulty settings.
- Adjust diplomacy maluses
